A Living Sacrifice
12 Therefore, I Urge You, Brothers and Sisters, in View of God’s Mercy, to Offer Your Bodies As Living Sacrifices, Holy and Pleasing to God—This is Your Spiritual Act of Worship. 2 Do Not Conform to the Pattern of This World, But Be Transformed By the Renewing of Your Mind. Then You Will Be Able to Test and Approve What God’s Will is—God's Good, Pleasing and Perfect Will.
Humble Service in the Body of Christ
3 For By the Grace Given Me I Say to Every One of You: Do Not Think of Yourself More Highly Than You Ought, But Rather Think of Yourself With Sober Judgment, in Accordance With the Measure of Faith God has Given you. Just As Each of Us Has One Body With Many Members, and These members Do Not All Have the Same Function, 5 So in Christ We, Who Are Many, Form One Body, and Each Member Belongs to All the Others. 6 We Have Different Gifts, According to the Grace Given Us. If Your Gift is Prophesying, Then Prophesy in Accordance With Your Faith; 7 If it is Serving, Then Serve; If it is Teaching, Then Teach; 8 If it is to Encourage, Then Give Encouragement; If it is Giving, then Give Generously; If it is Leadership, Let Him Govern Diligently; If it is Showing Mercy, Let Him Do it Cheerfully.
